As I stated before, restitution orders exist today. Judges provide restitution to victims of crime. It would very much be the purview of the judge presiding over the case to determine ability to pay.
I will tell you that whether the degree of enforceability is strong or not, we don't abandon restitution orders. We know they are not always collected. What we need to do is strengthen them. That is what this bill aims to do. Again, providing some definitions to the judge would give them some tools to explore that avenue—if it's appropriate for a case and for the criminal standing before them.
